The Thaler was the currency of the Swiss canton of Solothurn until 1798. It was subdivided into 40 Batzen, each of 4 Kreuzer or 8 Vierer. It was replaced by the Frank of the Helvetian Republic in 1798. This was, in turn, replaced by the Solothurn Frank.

[edit] Coins

In the late 18th century, billon coins were issued in denominations of 1 Vierer, 1, 2 and 4 Kreuzer, together with silver 10 and 20 Kreuzer, 10 and 20 Batzen, and gold ¼, ½, 1 and 2 Duplone.
